We knew Paul as the man who knew everything about fine jewelry. My grandmother AND parents took all their jewelry to him, and when it came to purchasing, they went to him as well. He was always such a pleasant, sweet man.

Wow, I just found out of Pauls passing, what a gentleman he was! Paul was one of those man that you just loved being around. I have bought many things from Paul just on a handshake! He was a man of his word, always with a smile on his face! I could go on & on. He was an incredible man! I will miss him. My prayers to Barbra & family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul when Arlington P.D. Detective Division, leased space in the Haltom building on W. Abram Street. He fashioned a ring for me that I still wear to this day. Paul was a TRUE Southern gentleman. He loved his wife and family dearly~ God bless each of you during this time of sorrow.

Respectfully,

Everyone in the Bond family loved Uncle Paul very much. He was my favorite uncle and I have many wonderful memories of time we shared during my childhood, some of which we shared on the phone recently. I am so thankful he was in my life. Though we didn't get to see each other often, he was still family. I will miss him a lot but most of all miss him calling me "Tina Bug".

I feel honored to have known Paul as a friend and employer. What a class act...He was one of the few good guys left. Business on a handshake, he was trusting and honest. The world is worse off now that this sweet, gentle soul is no longer here. I know that he is in a better place now, but still extend my heartfelt condolences to his wonderful family...How proud you all must be to have had this wonderful human being in your family.

I am truly sorry for your family's loss. I had a childhood friend named Paul Saucier in Vicksburg, Mississippi circa 1954-1955. Could this possibly be the same person?
Regards to your family.
